Last night was another good night for riding, as my buddy and I ventured out for just a 20 miler. The 30 miler from the day before left us pretty sore.
This morning I hit the kettlebell again and did some 1 arm cleans with the 40#, alternating 10 reps every arm all the way to 100 total (50/side). This took just under 4 minutes, so I took 2 minutes rest, hit another 100, and called it good. This helped loosen up the body a bit from the ride last night.
Another little joy was finding an old mountain bike that was the same model and paint job as my old bike when I was in junior high. I rode that bike all the way through college and a bit past college.
After I got into fixing up bikes, I always thought it would be fun to discover one of my old bikes if I could. I have an idea of what they still look like, and this old Huffy was pretty easy to discover as a match. It had a grey, black, and white paint combination that looks splattered on, plus it has neon green forks up front. Pretty easy to say 'that's my old bike" when I saw it right away from a distance.
The water bottle was missing, which was integrated into the frame on its own unique holder. The little zipper pack in the frame was also brittle, faded, and all-around shot to heck. I took that off due to its condition. I also took off the grips, which looked almost melted somehow. They were pretty gross.
The rims are off, tires off, and shined up as well as they can be. They are 90-95% shiny now, just a few spots are pitted and rusty.
I also put a new chain on it, but I'll have to play around with it and see why it almost catches when I try to freewheel it.
All in all, its a fun little project and a fun find.

I also got the new FIT package from AdvoCare, which I plan to go over tonight and perhaps post something on my ASAP Workouts Facebook page about it.
Look for something very soon on the FIT package!
